A city to remember
I have been to a lot of cities, and there are foreign and domestic. The city of Teheran give me a deep impression, and it broke the impression that I had. Before I went to there I think this city was conservative and maybe a little dangerous. But when I travel in there and talk to people in there, the impression totally changed. I went to there on a Friday morning in October in 2016, and Friday is their countryā€™s weekend. That afternoon I went to a park close to my hotel. I saw a lot of girls and boys were doing some sports together. Some families were put a rug on the road or on the lawn, and ate something or had a chat. They liked to say hello to you and they loved to take pictures with you. This made me feel this city is a vibrant city. A Teheran girl also gave me a deep impression. When another Chinese girl and me walked around the park, she just walked to us and talked to us, and she told us this park was famous in Teheran. She was so confident and I think I couldnā€™t do that to talk to a stranger. I also met a lot of kind person and they helped me a lot. I think I will go to this city again.

Shopping online
With the development of internet, more and more people like to shopping online. I also like to shopping online. Several years ago I shopping online on my computer, but now, since we had mobile-phone payments. I just use my phone to shopping online, and itā€™s very convenient. The shopping onlineā€™s development also depend on the logisticsā€™s development or the development of shopping online leads to the development of logistics, and they are work together.
There are a lot of advantages of shopping online. First, the express delivery can be sent to remote areas. My parents live in a small village but I also can buy something online express to them. Second, sometimes you donā€™t know where to buy something, but you can search online and you will find what you want. Third, sometimes you can get what you want in a day, maybe buy something in the morning and you can get it in the afternoon, because the express is so fast. The biggest benefit is you donā€™t need to go out and you can get what you want, and itā€™s also a convenience for people who are not easy to move or someone doesnā€™t have a lot of time to go out shopping.
